Chapter IBMLS Ch.113 Same room (4)

Mu Mingtang pretended not to know him, she took a look at the prescription and saw ginseng, ganoderma and other health-preserving medicines. These ingredients won’t be harmful to the body. The imperial physicians didn’t want to treat Xie Xuanchen, so he simply wrote a prescription to deal with her.

Mu Mingtang was fuming with anger, but on the surface, she still pretended not to notice anything, she sent them out with a smile on her face. After they left, she was faced with Xiang Nanchun and the others, and she realised that she couldn’t even show the slightest bit of resentment or benefit of doubt.

Xiang Nanchun stepped forward and asked respectfully: “Princess, do you want to brew the medicine?”

“Yeah.” Mu Mingtang replied softly, and pa.s.sed the prescription in her hands to Xiang Nanchun, “Follow the imperial physician’s instructions, go and brew the medicine now.”

“Yes.” Xiang Nanchun walked out with a group of maids. Xiang Nanchun brought half of the people away, and the other half stayed in the hall, they all looked down respectfully, but they stayed right by Mu Mingtang’s side.

Mu Mingtang stood right up and walked towards the bedroom. When the maids looked at the door, they all hesitated, and in the end they still didn’t dare to go in.

Mu Mingtang moved the stool and sat down by the bed. Xie Xuanchen was still asleep on the bed. He looked rather pure and innocent, she never would have thought that he was a killing machine that could break the shin bones of a full grown man with his bare hands.

Mu Mingtang sighed silently. This manor is huge, but she doesn’t know where to go or who to trust. Xie Xuanchen was her only sanctuary in this manor. Except for Xie Xuanchen, she couldn’t trust anyone.

Xie Xuanchen must feel the same.

Mu Mingtang tucked his hand that was just used to take his pulse back into the blanket and whispered, “Get well soon.”

After a while, Xiang Nanchun came back with the medicine. Mu Mingtang glanced at it once, and said without looking back: “Put it down, you can prepare for the meal now, I’ll feed the medicine to the prince.”

Xiang Nanchun glanced at both Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen, before bending her knees slightly as she said, “Yes.”

She turned around and said to the maid behind her: “Put down the medicine.”

The maid put down the medicine and backed out the door with the tray. Xiang Nanchun said: “Princess, the medicine is done, you may now feed it to the prince, I’ll excuse myself first.”

Xiang Nanchun happily closed the door and went out, which surprised Mu Mingtang. She thought it would take quite some time to chase these maids away.

But afterwards, it wasn’t difficult for her to understand, Xiang Nanchun was sent from the palace, she’ll try her best to keep herself neutral, to protect herself. Whether or not Xie Xuanchen lived a long or short life, for Xiang Nanchun, it was just the difference between working longer in the manor or a few days less. Whether or not Mu Mingtang fed him the medicine, whether Xie Xuanchen got better or worse, Xiang Nanchun would not care.

Although she turned a cold shoulder, Xiang Nanchun’s action was just what Mu Mingtang wanted. Mu Mingtang was still sitting next to the bed, she didn’t even look at the bowl of medicine behind her, let alone feeding the medicine to him. After a while, Xie Xuanchen’s finger moved, and he slowly woke up.

Mu Mingtang was overjoyed, she hurriedly poured a cup of warm water and sat on the side of the bed, she carefully helped him to sit up: “I was guessing that you were about to wake up, sure enough, you did wake up. They’re preparing the meal now, take some rest, later, let’s eat outside.”

Xie Xuanchen let out a low “um”, after sitting up, he glanced at the table with that bowl of medicine placed on top of it. Xie Xuanchen asked: “Did the imperial physicians come in the afternoon?”

“Yes.” Mu Mingtang was surprised, “how did you know?”

“The medicine is different.” Xie Xuanchen drinks the medicine every day, so he was very familiar with the smell of it. He noticed that the medicine has changed just by smelling it.

After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he saw Mu Mingtang look even more b.u.mped out, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Mu Mingtang shook her head and said, “It’s nothing, I’m just angry.”

Xie Xuanchen felt that he was like those old maids in the military logistics who always had to enlighten the new recruits. Although helpless, he still asked Mu Mingtang softly: “Why are you angry?”

“Although the palace sent five imperial physicians to stand by you at every hour of the day, in reality, none of them really wants to treat you.” He shouldn’t have asked, now that Xie Xuanchen asked, it was like Mu Mingtang had found her parents, she broke down and told him how sad she felt. “They don’t want to treat you at all. If it wasn’t because I tried scaring them slightly, the chief physician wouldn’t even prescribe a prescription for you. But even after I scolded them, they still didn’t take me seriously, they just wrote down a random prescription to deal with me.”
